Mortgage Financing
Mortgage financing must be secured from either an Australian local lender, or from an international bank with offices in Australia.
Overseas Investors can borrow up to 75% of the market value of the property. Loan terms up to 20 years. All loans and security are subject to individual credit criteria and legislative requirements including Foreign Investment Reviews Board approval.
This could be just another example of a print publication putting their material on-line, but the Your Mortgage Magazine web site clearly shows the publishers understand how to use the web effectively.
A well designed, easy to navigate site with outstanding resources. Includes the usual Mortgage Essentials and Tips for Buyers including;
A must see is the directory of on-line Finance Links. Not just a collection of links, but the IRED equivalent for Australian financial information, including media and news. Sites are indexed according to categories and rated based on the quality of information provided on the web site. Our only complaint is the use of underlined text in the description area.
For Professionals The HWW Rate Check Book Online is offered on a subscription basis and provides access to interest rates, fees and charges, terms and conditions, and features of Australian retail banking products in seven areas.
We wish more sites like Your Mortgage Magazine existed elsewhere in the world.
While many specialty news sites have opted to provide free headlines, with the actual stories available only be subscription, the AFR has taken a different approach. Access to most of the site is free, including current news stories, articles and editorials. A small fee is charged for real time share quotes and other current market information, company announcements, and news archive searches.
Outstanding editorial content, coverage of financial news, and a well developed property section, earns the Australian Financial Review our highest scores.
